The true measure of a Doane Stuart education is our great success in graduating hallmark individuals, people who really are capable of functioning in a global economy, in a world of difference and with a real understanding that the opinions of others are our most valuable way to learn about ourselves and our world.    

It is hard to explain to people who have been trained to expect that test results are the measure of a great school, that our measure of a truly great school is less tangible, but just as real. What makes this school great often happens after or outside of the classroom, between classes, and certainly between and among individuals who are different from each other in race, ethnicity, background, socioeconomic condition and different in opinion, understanding and vision. 

Doane Stuart is selected by our students and their parents because it provides rigorous college preparation, small class size, and a commitment to academic excellence, under the caring guidance of skilled and devoted teachers. The academic success of our students is enhanced by a commitment to service, an emphasis on leadership opportunities in athletics and extracurricular activities, and a respect for others.

Doane Stuart is a small school with a wide reach, offering unique partnerships within our school community and with the University at Albany, the Albany College of Pharmacy, the Albany Institute of History and Art, the Arts Center of the Capital Region and Lagan College in Northern Ireland.

Aided by a very competitive tuition, our financial aid programs help to assure that a family's finances are not a serious impediment when seeking the best for their children's education.

Our student-to-faculty ratio is 7 to 1; our average class size is 14. Over 80% of the faculty hold advanced degrees.
